Noora and Mikael Forsten flew to Miami from Finland, and they were in the middle of changing hotels on Thursday when, Noora said, she realized she'd left all her jewelry behind. "We're staying here for 12 days, and checking out to change hotels to go to Coconut Grove. We leave on Thursday, and I accidentally leave my jewelry in the room. I realized it the moment we arrived to the next hotel."
"I would just hope that I can get my wedding ring back," Noora continued. "I can even give a reward or something, but whatever it takes ... but please give me back my wedding ring."
The ring has a 5-carat diamond, as well several pink diamonds, and it's valued at approximately $56,000. "It's difficult to even describe. I don't know the words. I just found out, and of course, that's something that you can't buy back," said Mikael.
In addition to her wedding ring, Noora had also left behind other expensive items in an unlocked drawer. "There's a Van Cleef and Arpels Alhambra necklace, which is also beautiful; a Chopard diamond watch; some of my other jewelry, Hermès and Chanel," she said.
Noora said she and her husband met with hotel staff on Friday. "We came here to meet with the security department, but the room was already cleaned at that time," she said.
Noora filed a police report with Miami Beach Police Monday morning. "Losing your wedding ring is pretty emotional. Of course, I'm extremely sad. I should have never left them there," she said. "The other items, they can be bought, but the wedding ring was one of [a kind] and, of course, it has sentimental value most of all."
Carillon Hotel officials are being proactive and are doing everything they can do to help the couple. In a statement, Communications and Marketing Manager Katie Riguzzi said, "The safety and security of our guests are our number one priority. This is something we take seriously. We look into it thoroughly. We will be looking at video and interviewing many people. Our mission is to help our guests and to reunite them with their lost or forgotten items."
Even though the jewelry was insured, Noora said her wedding ring is irreplaceable. "You never expect something like this to happen. I know I should have been more careful," said Noora. "[The ring] means a lot to me. We've been married for seven years now, and it's very dear to me."
